2018 Woodland Heights Home Tour

Fresh Traditions - plus 3 bonus - “Teardown Turnarounds”

Woodland Heights will once again welcome visitors into some of its most charming historic homes during its “Fresh Traditions” biannual home tour March 24-25, from noon to 6 p.m. This year, tour goers can view a total of eight original homes ranging in size and style. The expanded list showcases three “teardown turnaround” homes once considered unsalvageable. Saved from the wrecking ball, these houses are testament to how a homeowner’s vision and commitment, combined with creative architects and experienced contractors, can rescue even the most neglected house and turn it into a showplace.
